England and Turkey

1t may be matter Of surprise to many
that England should be in such great
hurrj to get the Sultan to place his sigma
tnre to the Anglo Turkish Convention, Sir
Drummond Wolf, the English Ambassador
at ConstantinOple, has been ordered to leave
for England if the document he not signed
by Monday next
Who will gain if the articles were signed
aud who would lose If they are not signed by
that date by the Sultan
Nobody knows but the two governments
what those articles contain. Yet it may be
presumed that the British see some positive
advantage by prompt atiixing Of the SUI,
tan's signature aud the French see, or think
they see some advantage to themselves be,
cause disadvantage to England in the
delay. One clause is well known, namely
that in regard to the evacuation of Egypt
by the British within certain number 81
Yeas. And here the trouble is Outsiders
are impatient to understand why the Eng.
lish, above all people should be in such au
am ing hurry to get themselves out OF the
country European political annals only
show how anxious England was to get a
Ioothold in Egypt and how envions France
was of her success.
It is highly probable that these articles
contain some much more difficult problem
than the evacuation problem The hitch
between England and TdIkey is infinitely
more likely to be caused by some territorial
question raised by England. 1t may be that
Que OF the planks contain a confirmation of
the recent sale by Turkey of Cyprus and
thus the porto, subsequently discovering the
StIategical value Of the locality wishes ia
get the island back again.
But England will at least keep tight hold
On to Cyprus. With that island governing
the mouth Of the Suez Canal aud the island
Of Alden covering the southern exit of the
Red sea English interests are as safe as if
all Turkey were English soil.
It seems that the French have sent notes
10 the Sultan in regard to the Anglo ng.
ligh convention. Also that the French
premier, NJ, Wsddiugton, has ntimated to
the English government that France could
sign no document giving England prepop-
derant power in Egypt even for short time,

The English Design Accepted.


The Board of Naval officers and civilians
appointed by the Secretary Of the Navy to
pronounce on the plans of the new cruisers
and armored ship have accepted an English
design, that of the Barrow shipbuilding com
pany, for the armored ship,
Mr.. Edward Burgess, the designer Of Vol
nuteer, now being built at Pusey 4 Jones
Yard, and who is well known in this city, is
member of the Board,
He was asked Sunday last how it was that
an English design was selected in preference
to an American one for the new armored
ship. He said in reply, ''rhere was no
American plan worthy Of acceptance for the
armored ship. Some fine de-
signs for cruisers were submitted by Ameri-
cans, but to prepare comprehensive original
plans for cuirassed war ship requires more
than native ingenuity.
Mr.. Burgess was asked if the question of
nationality was considered in making the Sc
lection aud also if he were aware that there
had been certain amount of carping be-
cause tho design was not an American one.
Mr.. Burgess replied with emphasis that the
Board was composed of experts not politi-
clans y We looked only for a
warship that would best suit the country,
and there was no sentiment about the mat
ter.
Explaining further as to how he wonlt
have preferred Yankee model he added:
II can say positively that the Board woult
have preferred an American design. Per
sonally would gladly have done all in m!
power to have brought about a selection OF {
homemade plan. But, as previously men
toned, there has been no experience in get
ting up ships Of this class in this countr,
and the Board could not do any Different.
